This gorgeous reinvention of a classic Leafmore ranch style home is priced considerably BELOW APPRAISED VALUE! Over the past few years the homeowners have lovingly created this contemporary vision of a traditional home that's more representative of the way families live today. The space was opened up, of course, and the gorgeous renovated kitchen with its oversized island is now the natural light-filled heart of the home - a far cry from the little dark room in the back that it once was. Gone, too, is the old carport laundry closet, instead creating a bright indoor laundry room, complete with utility sink, and adding a convenient mud room entrance into the home with ample space for an extra fridge, adding a convenient back door spot for all your shoes, coats, and hats. Three graciously sized bedrooms and two beautiful baths round things out, making the house nearly perfect on its own, but when you add the extraordinary park-like back yard, with its meandering walking paths and landscaping designed to bloom in all seasons, you’re bordering on magnificence. Nearly stepless entries in both front and back and a gorgeous level lot make this a home you do not want to miss out on!
